Dull shard

[Dkittrell]

Are these useful? I have about 2 stacks and can't find any recipe they are used for

 

[Pokefenn]

They can be used for a Crystal Capacitor

useful for capacitors, allow you to store excess vis by overcharging a node with crystal clusters.

I also think you can use them for Wands of the Apprentice (no idea why you'd want any, though,) though they might have removed that.

The only things they can be used for is in place of generic shards (where type doesn't matter, such as wands), and in the crystal capacitor (which needs 8 per). This makes them useful for vis retention, and to preserve other shards, in times of crisis.

I just recycled our as the GT generator split out them as "byproducts" once they're done "burning" finally a way to get rid of those stupid shards. TC3 isn't as useful as TC2. Ahh the days when you could dupe things if you had a good enough "vis farm" . The machines were also cool and could be Fully automated with simple BC pipes.

Yeah, but you can't argue that the wands and golems are really worth it, and that the research system is many times more interesting than the old "spam cobble generator on the thing".

Crystal capacitors are a really good way to actually store vis, as pointed above, and you want a lot of vis for some of the thaumcraft things, like the bore.

Among other things, a wand of apprentice is required for every other wand, and thus by extension all the special tools.
